HSR010 PLASTIC BAGS - BLIND THEM ALL CASSETTE

New track off the upcoming cassette which will be available in time for MAGGOT FEST this weekend in Melbourne and then online from next week.

Second cassette only release from these Perth clitz. The melding of boredom, cheap substitutes and cruelty that inevitably comes with study and working menial jobs in a city such as this. Heavily indebted to the LA and Aussie 70s punk sound. 5 tracks. Penetration cover.

MAGGOT FEST IV

Just over one week until MAGGOTFEST IV in Melbourne. PLASITC BAGS will be playing the Friday night at the GASO, HELTA SKELTA the Sunday arvo at the MELBOURNE TOWN HALL. Get on.

Will also be bringing my distro over for the Saturday swap meet at the GASO.

VAARALLINEN IN PERTH THIS WEEKEND

Make sure to come down to these. The amount of money and effort that goes into bringing bands over to Perth shouldn't have to be mentioned. Not to mention the gracious pains Lewis at No Patience endured to bring these guys over from Singapore. So don't just sit at home...

Venue change for the Satruday night too, it's now at an art space on William St

Helta Skelta "Asbestos" EP
Aussie outfit from Perth I've never heard before, this is their second or third record, with members of Extortion. Kind of a weird mix of hardcore and garage punk, like Rupture meets The Onyas or something. I like it quite a bit, especially "Smile" which is a weird DIY sounding tune with some surfy guitar parts and dum-dum vox. "Rust" is very muscular mid-tempo punk with burly vox, "Suedehead" is not a Morrissey cover but a ballsy slow-tempo HC stomper. "Face" is great snotty shit with an odd post-punk angle to it. Very cool stuff, almost like a more punk or yobbo Hygiene or something, very hard to describe these guys which is always a plus in my book.(RK)

Got some copies of the AMDI PETERSENS ARME - DISCOG LP on the way too, as well as some other releases from HJERNESPIND RECORDS, should be here anyday. Some of Denmark's best! As well as that the distro is updated pretty regularly so check back for new releases.
